Day 12, Venice, October 1st
Now we are in a different
country!
Woke up without backaches
despite questionable bed. Went to San Marco, went to top of bell tower.
Amazing view, very glad we did that. Then went to San Marco
Basilica - great! It was like a pagan roman temple, but for Jesus!
Mosaics all over the walls. Went up on balcony area too.
Walked east along water, got
Gelato. Walked to "gardin" where there was a modern art expo, but it
was too expensive. Then, Reiter dropped our map in the ocean! So started
walking back.
Got
lunch, taunted some pigeons,
(Rest cut off? This is from memory now: We took a water bus to Murano as it was
closing, got a little lost and would up in a residential cul-de-sac. Then took
waterbus back. Waterbuses are lovely. Caught dinner somewhere. Reiter asked for the tortellini with no ham
and the waiter was totally incredulous.
Then wandered around trying to find the synagogue. This was very difficult as we realized that
the area around the synagogue was gated at night. Ran into a bunch of Jews in the ghetto
though. Heard a few very Jewish songs drifting through the windows. It was fun)
